Jed T. Young has been named executive director of marketing services for the Lone Star College System. He will be responsible for systemwide publications and marketing as part of the public affairs office, which is within external affairs.

Young, a Texas A&M graduate with a journalism degree, spent 14 years with the Houston Chronicle, managing its specialty publications department that included the paper's chain of neighborhood newspapers and the Sunday real estate and homes sections.
